Title: Line delivery apparatus
Inventor: HIGHAM ANTHONY JOHN
IPC: F42B12/68
Filed: 2013-05-30
Abstract: A line launcher (110) capable of firing a projectile (117) and an attached line (125) up to about 70 metres. It has a barrel (113) large enough for a resilient projectile attached to a line. It has a pre-charge chamber capable of storing a pressurised gas from a pressurised gas cartridge. A trigger mechanism vents the gases in this pre-charge chamber into the barrel to expel the projectile and line. Gas from the pressurised gas cartridge (e.g. a CO2 bulb) is released slowly enough to pressurise the pre-charge chamber but without the cartridge freezing as might occur if the gas was discharged directly from the cartridge into the barrel to directly propel the projectile.

Title: Security domain prediction
Inventor: CRASKE SIMON JOHN
IPC: G06F21/79
Filed: 2015-04-23
Abstract: A computer (2, fig. 1) comprises processing circuitry to perform operations in response to program instructions, e.g. to access memory (6, fig. 1). The processing circuitry has domains of operation including a secure and a less secure domain. When operating in the secure domain the processing circuitry has access to data not accessible when operating in the less secure domain. Prediction circuitry 42 is coupled to the processing circuitry and is configured to generate a domain prediction: whether a given processing action should be performed associated with the secure or the less secure domain. The processing circuitry performs the processing action based upon the domain prediction. Preferably, at least one of the domains has a plurality of privilege levels so that in a first privilege level access permissions are different from in a second privilege level (fig. 1). Thus, typically, either secure domain or less secure domain memory permission data can be used to control access to memory and different access permissions can be provided according to privilege level. A domain indicator, indicating the domain an operation, may be compared with the domain prediction and, if they do not match, results based on the prediction discarded and processing retried based on the domain indicator.
